:flowerforyou: Hellooooo ,

Thought i would share my success with everyone who doesnt see the scale moving & thinks they should give up !!! I have been on MFP for Over a month & in that time i have lost 8lbs then 6lbs and i havent lost weight in 3 weeks !! I felt soo bloody crap & like giving up until i decided to measure myself & take pictures .. This is the result i got ! my waist looks like its takin shape and my stomach is less bloated. i have like 40lbs to lose but every little helps :tongue: .. DONT LISTEN 2 YOUR SCALES. MEASURE & TAKE PICS MONTHLY xxx Oh i have lost 8.4 inches in the past 40days also.. Im 21 years old, 5 ft 6 tall .. I was 190lbs and currently weigh 176 GOOD LUCK EVERYONE

( ps sorry its a link i hope it works ) xxx

    RIGHT ON. Good job:wink: you can definitely see a big difference. I too have kind of reached a plateau right now on the scale, but inch wise, i can see the difference. I've come to terms to not being so hard on myself when the scale tells me otherwise. Glad you picked yourself up and we can only move forward..keep up the good work:happy:

    I can totally see the difference. I would except this kind of change over a large lost of poundage but still have the lower tummy.

    You look great. Keep up the good work. What types of exercise have you been doing?
